Tonight, the Fifty Club of Fishers recognized Detective Dan Nelson as their Unsung Hero! Det. Nelson has been with FPD since 2007. His proactive stance is evident in his readiness to assist any agency or officer, anytime, anywhere, all in the pursuit of justice and community safety. "If something is going on criminally in Fishers, Dan knows about it and is working on it. His dedication makes us a stronger agency, a better city, and a safer community," Chief Gebhart said. His work outside the agency often flies under the radar to some but is never overlooked and is critical to helping maintain the safety and future of our city. After receiving the award, Detective Nelson said, "I just sit on a computer and kind of make things happen. The true testament is what the officers do daily. The ones that patrol our community, that solve the crimes, I just give them the leads and point them in which direction to go." Mayor Scott Fadness added, "If I am the victim of a crime, I want Detective Nelson working on the case." Congratulations, Dan, and thank you for the work you do for the City of Fishers.
